The problem 🥴
After mastering the previous lessons in this course, you've likely crafted a meticulously organized project folder boasting data, R code, and a polished HTML report courtesy of Quarto.
Yet, there remain some significant challenges:
🔥 Safety → Imagine the horror if your computer crashed! To safeguard your hard work, relying solely on a hard drive won't cut it; it's time to embrace the cloud.
✉️ Sharing → Sending your work via email feels antiquated, doesn't it? Merely sharing the qmd file won't suffice; your colleagues need the ability to rerun your analysis and stay up-to-date with your latest insights.
🦕 History → Ever wished you could rewind time to a previous project version? With no project history, tracking changes feels like navigating a labyrinth.
🤝 Collaboration → Picture a colleague eager to contribute a few lines to your script. Without a collaborative platform, coordinating efforts becomes a logistical nightmare.
Let's enter GitHub: the solution to all these woes.
